The fall of Goma has rattled the continent, prompting international condemnation and fears of a humanitarian crisis. Observers say Goma is cautiously starting to come back to life after several days of fighting between Congolese forces and M23 fighters allegedly backed by Rwandan troops. Over the weekend, the Congolese Red Cross and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said at least 700 people were killed and 2,800 wounded in the fight for control of Goma.
To provide more perspective on the war, ZihindulaMulegwa, attorney and former spokesman for then-President Joseph Kabila of the Democratic Republic of Congo, spoke to VOA’s Paul Ndiho. He says the rebels have vowed to march on the capital, Kinshasa, after capturing eastern DRC’s most significant city, Goma.
